UCLA AGSA joins graduate student government in screening "Vodka Lemon"
LOS ANGELES, CA - On Thursday, April 28th at 7:30pm the UCLA Armenian
Graduate Students Association, in collaboration with the graduate student
government's Director of Melnitz Movies will host a screening of "Vodka
Lemon" in the James Bridges Theater.
"This is the first time the UCLA AGSA has screened a film on campus and so
it was only natural to partner up with [the Director of] Melnitz Movies,"
commented Haig Hovsepian, project director for the organizing committee.
"The UCLA AGSA already hosts an annual international conference in
Armenian Studies, but this project allows our members to explore more of
the performing arts."
Directed by Hiner Saleem, an Iraqi Kurd, "Vodka Lemon" is a comedic love
story set in a remote, isolated village in post-Soviet Armenia. It was
the winner of the "San Marco Prize" at the 2003 Venice Film Festival and
has been an official selection at a number of other film festivals.
"The screening of Vodka Lemon and other films by Armenian artists or
concerning Armenian themes are important because Armenian Cinema is a
relatively untapped resource," noted organizing committee member Ara
Soghomonian, a student in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and
Cultures whose focus is Armenian cinema. "Hopefully through Melnitz
Movies, the UCLA community has found a way to explore Armenian Cinema,
allowing our ever-shrinking world to shrink even more."
The screening is free and open to the public. Tickets are issued for
seating capacity purposes only and the box office opens at 6:30pm.
